South Korea to expand nuclear energy
Article Type: News From: Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3.
South Korea claims it has no option but to expand its nuclear power plant programme despite growing public concern over safety in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster in 2011 and a series of scares that closed two reactors last year. The proportion of South Koreans who considered nuclear power safe fell to 34.8 per cent in a survey conducted in November 2012 down from 40 per cent in April 2011 and 71 per cent in January 2010, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said.
